How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.She also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and following the client's priorities. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients take part in shaping sessions and deciding which skills to practice between meetings.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls mimic in-person meetings when seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
